A lot of script-driven applications, particularly paid content management systems, encode their files so as to ensure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an app known as ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so if you acquire a paid script and you would like to install it in a website hosting account, an instrument known as ionCube Loader has to be present on your server. Without having it, you will not be able to install the script or in case you somehow manage to do this, it will not operate effectively due to the fact that most of the script code will be encrypted to a point where it cannot be interpreted. That is why, you have to make sure that ionCube Loader is set up when you get a new website hosting account and you want to take advantage of some paid web application. If you buy a shared web hosting account and the tool is not present, it cannot be added as the entire server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Shared Web Hosting

IonCube Loader is a part of all web servers which are a part of our cloud hosting platform, so regardless of the shared web hosting that you choose during the signup process, you can activate it from your Hepsia Control Panel. The process is as simple as right-clicking an On/Off button inside the Advanced section, so even if this will be your first hosting account ever, you will not have to do anything complicated. The same section enables you to pick the PHP release for your account (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2), and if you would like to switch to a different version, you only need to activate ionCube Loader for it as well. As our platform is quite flexible, you can even set some other PHP version and another status of ionCube by using a php.ini file in each domain folder. If this is something you need to do but you don't have much experience, our 24/7 tech support team will assist you quickly.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Every single semi-dedicated server account which is created on our outstanding cloud web hosting platform includes ionCube Loader support, so you'll be able to set up any kind of script app that needs the software tool. Then use it to launch and maintain your web presence. You can activate ionCube from the PHP Configuration area of the Control Panel and it will take you only a few clicks to do that. The change will take effect right away, which means that you will be able to proceed and set up the needed script inside your account. If you choose to switch the PHP version which is active for your account, you should enable ionCube for the new version too. Our custom-built platform also allows you to have a different PHP version for each and every domain or subdomain, which is done with a php.ini file in each domain folder. In the same way, you're able to enable/disable ionCube Loader for each individual website hosted in your semi-dedicated account.
